Maybe he lived in Kansas for too long, but Bryan Von Axelson (who now resides in Pennsylvania) compares IT professionals to the Wizard of Oz, working behind the curtain to keep everything running smoothly. In addition to his Microsoft credentials and certifications,
Bryan has been a national speaker for the tax software industry and participated in several business and computer radio shows. In 2007, he presented a one-hour Microsoft SQL Server webcast that reached more than 800 people a week for 10 consecutive weeks.
Bryan brings infectious enthusiasm, excitement, and most importantly, hands-on knowledge to his TechNet presentations.
